it’s not delusional or ego inflating, it’s not creepy or stalkerish, but I’m a good internet sleuth and try to search for the company name + “recruiter” or “talent” and show genuine interest + how I am relevant to them, it’s how I got my last gig

Looking for a job is like a job in itself. There is the looking, there is the applying. there is the cover letter, there is the waiting. Then they make interviews extra-long and worse, in phases/tests - making you jump through hoops. If you see a job posting on linkedin for eg, click on the job poster, and email them directly. I start by saying "I saw an ad but don't fit all the boxes." Send them a quick descriptor and then attach my CV. Some do respond.

Meet people in person. your online presence is a little bonus mini existence to supplement your real life existence. i got every job ive ever had because i met the person hiring or i was recommended by an employee. spending hours on indeed and sending 1000 emails might work, but in the end its all about who you know.
Go to events where youre likely to meet people you could work with. Make friends. let them get familiar with what you do. Ask if they need your services or if they know anyone who does. Theres no shortcut to get people to like you.
Would you hire a stranger via email over someone your friend chris recommends? Probably not.
